SUZANNE VEGA at Balboa Theatre

A singer / songwriter of rare poetic genius,
SUZANNE VEGA offers profound insight into the basics of human existence which has earned her followers of all ages and walks of life.

Growing up in the tough and mixed neighborhoods of New York City in the 60's, she started writing poetry at the age of nine and song-writing by the time she was fourteen. In her teens she attended the New York High School of Performing Arts where she studied modern dance. However, music turned out to be her calling and, even while pursuing a degree in English Lit from Barnard College at Columbia University, she could often be found down in the Village performing at small venues.

Winning her first recording contract in 1984,
SUZANNE VEGA continues to write and perform, connecting with audiences all over the world through her words and music.
